An exciting new episode of the #21for21 podcast 🚀  🌏  with Ron Wakkary, professor of design, author and chief of Future Everyday. Ron talks with Marco and Carola about about human-centricity, posthumanist design and creative speculation. 🎤  Design has a role to play, positively, but we have to reflect on how we arrived here and be mindful of the negative effects of design as well 🎤  In my role as design educator, I believe we should really embrace pluralism. Students feel a stronger sense of urgency when thinking about what it means to be a designer and we should be very careful about thinking about just one way to educate. 🎤  We need to not only speculate on the future, but especially on the here and now. 🎤  Humility and generosity are important behaviours when thinking about what we are privileged to speculate on - it is the response that is generous. 🎤  The shift to post-human is vital. What does it mean to design with. You pay attention to who else and what else, from with designers to even with bacterias . 🎤  Dear Future, I am ready to discuss, learn and practice, how to design with, to better co-habit our more than human world. Design with the multiplicity of design with humans and non-humans, that make our world and to do that with humility, generosity and expansiveness.
